Wow, this one was very up and down for me. Straczynski definitely breathed some life into this iconic character (even if this iteration of the Amazonian Princess was very short-lived with the arrival of the New 52), but he also pulled back from the "newness" by the ending. Strange. As for the artwork, it was generally good, but there were more than a few panels that just looked wrong, enough so that I found myself focusing on what was wrong with them rather than what was going on in the story.

Wow. The rating for this are all over the place! Re-booting Wonder Woman is evidently a very touchy subject with a lot of people.From my rating, I think it's pretty obvious that I come down of the side of Loved It! I'm one of those people who desperately wanted to see the lovely Princess Diana get an update. And like a band-aid, I think it's easier to just get it over with quickly.

The ending leaves you with a nice foreshadowing of the New 52 re-boot, as well. So, yeah. I'm one of those people who's drooling all over myself while I wait to get my hands on the first volume of Azzerello's new take on her. ["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>...more

Well the art is the only reason this isn't a 1-star book for me.I will grant that I waited a while between Vol 1 and 2, but that's the library's fault, not mine.Unfortunately, I found this convoluted, verbose, grandiose, and altogether confusing. It really could have been boiled down to 1 TPB, and I think it would have accomplished the same thing.I suppose it's also a pointless reboot, since it's not actually much different than where we started, plus that whole New 52 thing...

So I see what people mean when they talk about Straczynski being a horrid writer...I did like Superman:Earth One, but THIS is just tripe.

Also, I think I've concluded I just don't like Wonder Woman stories. Too many different Gods/demigods etc. I can't keep track of the Amazons, Titans, Gods, Demis, Humans and so forth. Ridiculous. Also, which ones are friends and which aren't...I mean why give us more in-fighting characters, we already get that all the time...dysfunctional teams are all we get. Also when it comes down to it, she just has to kill a shit ton of people...then show mercy to those that don't deserve it? And the internal monologue is so pompous I just wanted to slap it in the face.

So this was a NO for me, if there was doubt. Art is very good, otherwise I would burn this and give my library the money to buy something else....more

For much of the graphic novel, I was confused, which could have been the really complicated plot or the amount of time since I read Volume 1. Also, wow, sure a lot of butt/boobs poses and buxom women. Good thing this universe is almost completely filled with sexy women.

However, lots of great female characters, particularly Wonder Woman, and I liked how the story straightened out and wrapped up. Would definitely continue to seek out WW comics and other Straczynski storiesCrystal's Bullet Reviews:

I'm still relatively new when it comes to the DC universe, so I apologize for any glaring errors.

This two-volume side story caught my attention for really one reason only. PANTS.

I've always enjoyed superhero stories (Batman remains my favorite) but could never get into the female characters all that much. The reason, they're mostly wearing terrible skintight bathing suits. Even if you're a superhero (of either gender) spandex is not the best material to wear for protection against bad guys with a ridiculous arsenal. I always had difficulty suspending my disbelief when Wonder Woman prances onto the scene in knee high boots and a bathing suit. I'm sorry, but no.

Now I know that Wonder Woman, in this incarnation is still wearing skintight clothing, but at least they gave her PANTS. (This might also be the reason why I like Batman, because most of the female superheroes and villains [Poison Ivy aside] have full body outfits.) I loved that though Wonder Woman remained slightly scandalous and sexy, her clothing reflected more of the current times. With more and more females reading superhero comics and becoming bigger fans of Marvel and DC, revamping the costumes the female characters (and yes, some of the males) wear is something they should seriously look into. I love a sexy female lead too, just not one wearing nothing but a bathing suit....more

The subtitle identifying this book as "Volume 2" is impossibly small on the front cover, so not only was this my first-ever Wonder Woman book but it was also the second in a series. Even with those strikes against it, this book flat out amazed me.

The only thing I [thought I] knew prior to this book was that Wonder Woman was a useless super hero with a silly invisible jet, a lasso, and no super powers. I always had the impression that she was the token female and not a whole lot more.

The only thing I [thought I] knew prior to this book was that Wonder Woman was a useless super hero with a silly invisible jet, a lasso, and no super powers. I always had the impression that she was the token female and not a whole lot more.

What I learned instead was that Wonder Woman (let's just call her Diana from here on out) is steeped in a rich mythical history based on Greek mythology and legend. I learned that Diana was an Amazon (not the South American river, but the legendary Greek warriors) princess who has inherited powers from the gods. She wasn't even born: she was formed out of clay and granted life. She's strong both physically and mentally; there were no internal struggles here with how she must balance being a woman and also being a warrior or anything silly like that. This was just a straight up superhero in the style of, say, Superman, but - in my opinion - much better. I'm not kidding when I say that Wonder Woman is quite possibly one of my new favourite comic book characters.

I highly recommend this book (although, unlike me, you might find it better to start with Volume 1). If you know nothing of Wonder Woman, or you think you do and you think she's lame, then definitely read this! It will change your mind forever, and you have no idea what you are missing out on!...more

Unfortunately, I picked this story up in Volume 2, not realizing that such a thick graphic novel was only half of the story. Still, it is clear that WW's closest friends and Amazons have been killed and she is some alternate version of herself seeking completion. Meanwhile, she is hunted by Artemis, Cheetah (I think that's her name, if not her motif), and Giganta. There's also a lot of interdimensional alternate timelines reality nonsense which I doubt the first volume would have cleared up muchUnfortunately, I picked this story up in Volume 2, not realizing that such a thick graphic novel was only half of the story.

Meanwhile, she is hunted by Artemis, Cheetah (I think that's her name, if not her motif), and Giganta. There's also a lot of interdimensional alternate timelines reality nonsense which I doubt the first volume would have cleared up much. Which is why I rated this down to 3 stars. As a frequent comic reader, I am sick to death of certain tropes such as all the interdimensional continuity crisis in a spaghetti mess garbage. Complexity does not mean quality, but so many of Wonder Woman stories have this planar shift nonsense. Or they become embarassingly obvious diatribes on feminism (while wearing star spangly underwear). Or WW is just a huge emotional mess. My odyssey is to find a Wonder Woman story that I love because I do love the idea of Wonder Woman. In this issue, I even loved the way they drew her (tangent: really not a fan of Terry Dodson's or Adam Hughes' giant-breasted giant-jawed versions or various narrow-shouldered skinnier versions either, I'm sorry). I'm picky. So far the animation versions are my favorites, where she's strong, physically, emotionally, idealistically and pragmatically.

The showdown at the end with new WW (in long pants) and original WW (in spangled underwear) was good if a bit cliched. Even WW herself recognizes the cliche, saying it always ends like this and she finds it comforting.

As for her new costume with pants, I'm okay with it. It makes more sense for a warrior to be in pants (or at least a battle greaves skirt) then a bathing suit. On the other hand, the bathing suit costume becomes a lot sexier after seeing her in pants most of the time. Plus, the original costume brings to mind female gymnastics uniforms which is certainly part of WW's battle technique as well. Love them both. ...more

Wonder Woman was never I book I read much during my formative, comic reading years. But as an adult, I enjoy this title more so than many others from that time. Perhaps it's the mythology of the Greek gods I enjoy reading about now. I am not sure.

This collection is the 2nd part of a massive 14 issue story. As such, I was a little confused initially, but that quickly passed.

Amazing how much difference it makes when you get the full story in context.Okay, so I was far short of fond of the first part of Odyssey.

I started to get a little concerned with the lack of depth to her character and the stereotypical manner with which she filled the role of action hero, but thankfully, I feel Stracz delivers in his conclusion. Once introduced to the idea of the multiple WW entities in different times and universes, WW is allowed to approach her destiny in a way that is both well-informed and self-actualizing. When WW is hospitalized after a tangle in the streets with three "true" Amazonians, she has the opportunity to have a fantastic exchange with an old woman in the hospital and discuss The Fates, the nature of her destiny vs how she approaches it, and what she has learned that really shines. The fight with Nemesis in particular was very well written, speaking about how humanity has always needed and held up these avatars of virtue and vice as a means to understand their world.

I really, sorely wish this was packaged as a single volume, because I was nearly about to give up on the first and would have missed out on this fantastic story in full had I not known the second part was readily sitting in my library bag. I guess a little patience goes a long way.

4 stars for this volume, maybe 3 for the whole of it, because in the comic medium, you really have to work hard to sell your first few volumes or you won't get a chance to tell your story, and Stracz should have known better. ...more

Volume 2 is noticeably better than volume 1, despite the "artists"' attempts to ruin the story, the characters, and the dialogue. The great JMS suffers from some bombastic tendencies early on, but he re-acclimates to proper dialogue soon enough, and we are generally more satisfied than the chaotic inscrutability of volume 1. While this is another in the increasing line of "let's abuse the classical device of 'in medias res'" narrations, JMS proves his trustworthiness quite well by the end.

While this is another in the increasing line of "let's abuse the classical device of 'in medias res'" narrations, JMS proves his trustworthiness quite well by the end. The epilogue is a bit brow-raising, mainly because one gets the impression JMS only learns partway through his attempt at revitalizing Wonder Woman that the Powers That Be are about to relaunch the entire DC Universe anyway, so all of his efforts at revitalizing Wonder Woman is about to be erased by the people that sign his paychecks. While JMS takes this with a generous portion of grace, he also does not hesitate to unveil some justifiable irritation. Despite this, the conclusion and epilogue to Wonder Woman's "odyssey" (though it's more of a Dantean trek than Homeric or Virgilian) is fine work from JMS (again, the artists throughout seem wholly committed to emphasizing the body of Wonder Woman in total antagonism to the ideas JMS is trying to get us to wrestle with and basic human decency). We are treated to another JMS usage of "last, best hope" (though that may have been in volume 1), and while the overall theme of the work is unashamedly unoriginal, JMS makes it a worthwhile trip (especially if you can read it once for free and give it back to someone else or the library)....more

I really enjoyed Starczynski’s updated take on Wonder Woman in the first volume of Odyssey. So, I was somewhat shocked when he blew that volume out of the water with a stunning, brilliant conclusion.

So, I was somewhat shocked when he blew that volume out of the water with a stunning, brilliant conclusion.

Diana’s journey of self-discovery reaches its culmination when she learns that she has always existed – a personification of justice and mercy that has been reborn countless times throughout history. The more familiar Wonder Woman who met Steve Trevor was only one such iteration. Only now, mankind’s endless wars and atrocities have made an enemy unbelievably strong – strong enough to exile all the gods and attempt to wipe Diana from the loom of fate. But, one strand was hidden and still persists. The current, modern Diana must face her destiny and choose to become Wonder Woman again. This story was so fabulously woven that I wanted to cheer as it unfolded (I *may* have whooped out loud at one point). Straczynski has not only given the Warrior Princess a new direction and perspective, but has done so without losing any of what makes the character so iconic. The story has lots of action, but also many surprises. There are even a few cameos that not only delight, but fit within the story seamlessly. And the last few pages may just bring a tear to your eye.

The redesigned Diana looks so new, but is still so quintessentially Wonder Woman. Overall, my only disappointment is that there is no more of Straczynski’s Diana to come. He has set the bar so high, I’m not sure it can ever be surpassed. Highly recommended!...more

This was a brilliant continuation of Volume One! Diana's character stays true throughout the graphic novel, and no one can say it doesn't keep you on your toes! I love that even though there are continuous twists that delay Wonder Woman's victory, they are all feasible and interesting continuations rather than extra pieces that bore the reader. I'm not sure how I feel about the very end, but I can see why the writers took it in that direction, and it was probably a wise move for the long-term.

I came into reading this, the second part of J.

The new (and already abandoned) costume Wonder Woman wore hardly bothered me this time around as the story worked in the classic costume version. I might buy a used copy of this book as there are great moments and I do like Kramer's art, but I would never buy a new copy at cover price. I prefer to maintain keeping books on my shelf that I spend my hard earned cash on with stories I want to re-read as I follow writers more than artists, which was something I didn't do in the artist's era of the 90's. It's been a long time since I enjoyed the comic book work of JMS. I often wonder if prolific writers would scale back their work load and concentrate on telling fewer stories if the results would be noticeably better....more

J. Michael Straczynski is awesome. There, I said it. It is true. His Superman: Earth One Volume 2 was a really great piece of storytelling about the Man of Steel and his two Before Watchmen titles, Dr. Manhattan and Nite Owl, were both excellent as well.

J. Michael Straczynski is awesome. There, I said it. It is true. His Superman: Earth One Volume 2 was a really great piece of storytelling about the Man of Steel and his two Before Watchmen titles, Dr. Manhattan and Nite Owl, were both excellent as well. Of course, Wonder Woman: Odyssey Volume 1, which saw Diana’s backstory rebooted and her costume redesigned, was just as great, if not better. Continuing on with the second volume of the series proved to be just as excellent an experience, all things considered. It was high on action, high on the drama, high on the emotional beats, and what it really was, was a thought-provoking and mature piece of comics fiction about the most iconic female superhero in comics.

This volume does justice to its name, Odyssey, much more strongly than the previous volume did. Of course, this one has the advantage in that it doesn’t need to set things up and that everything that was built up on in the previous book was resolved here, and rather spectacularly at that, whether we talk in terms of just the story or the art.

At the heart of this entire volume is a really big ttwist, the reason that the reboot happened, and personally, I really liked it. More so since I hadn’t read any of the preceding issues, minus the first arc written by Allan Heinberg post-Infinite Crisis. It is handled really neatly, and the visual representation of that particular scene was gold.

As part of his redefinition of the character, Odyssey Volume 2 is a suitably epic journey about identity and destiny and fate. This is, quite honestly, the way I wish the current ongoing series was being written. And this is a point I raised in my review of the first volume too. I can’t really say much about this volume without giving things away, but I will say that there are a lot of unpredictable events that occur during the story. They keep you on your toes and challenge your every perception of Diana’s character and the “new” setting.

Once again, there are a hell of a lot of artists on this volume, particularly since there were a lot of changes and shake-ups from issue to issue. But all the same, the meta-vision by Kramer and the others was fantastic. They all handled the art on these issues really well, and have made me into a fan, wanting to check out more of their work.

This is Wonder Woman's final arc before the Infinite Crisis, so Straczynski shakes it up quite a bit with a long arc about a changed historical timeline, in which Diana is brought up motherless and in the human world rather than Themyscira. It makes for an interesting story, how Diana changes but retains some sort of memory of the way things should be even as it puzzles her as to its meaning. We know she will succeed, and the timeline will go back to normalReviewing both Vol 1 and 2 as one book.

We know she will succeed, and the timeline will go back to normal, and there is some foreshadowing of the crisis to come, but at times I still felt a little cheated. This wasn't a pure WW story, as it wasn't really the Diana we know and love. Yet, it was a great story! It's hard to reconcile those two reactions because I can't help but wish we had a more traditional plot to farewell this cycle of WW stories before we welcome in the post-Crisis, new 52 era....more

The twisted take on Wonder Woman offered by J. Michael Straczynski comes to its conclusion with this second volume. Rescued from the Amazonian Cheetah, Giganta, and Artemis by Dr. Psycho, Diana learns that her history may not be what she was led to believe. Further encounters with the Fates showcase Diana as a woman divided - literally - and facing her darkest nature.

I didn't love this storyline. We get a good, understandable resolution to it that I honestly didn't expect, and the last chapter in particular really brought it together in a good way. The issue, really, is everything prior to it. It felt like an excuse to try and modernize a character that might not need it, and, even if it did? Didn't really accomplish it here.

Wonder Woman is so up and down, it's hard to find a middle ground. Hopefully new New 52 reboot isCloser to a 2.5, which is unfortunate.

Eh..... I sort of already lost interest in this series. I feel like for being the super strong warrior race of Amazons.... they happen to be real easy to kill.... The characters come and go and aren't really memorable, Diana is the only consistent one (shocking I know). The plot is kind of weak and it just seems overall poorly written. Don’t think I will be buying anymore of this series. I did enjoy the new style for Wonder Woman…. I just wish the story was less confusing and better written.
